yeah, my bad. i did mean "b".
<tip type="ColdFusion" author=".jeff">
having problems with directory and file operations with coldfusion on linux?
can't seem to fix the problems by setting the permissions to even 777?
that's because the directories and/or files don't belong to the right group.
in order to work with them through coldfusion, they have to belong to the
same group that coldfusion runs under -- nobody. so, simply use the chgrp
command to move them to the right group. [note: you'll likely not be
allowed to do this yourself unless you can su to root or are yourself a
member of the "nobody" group]. change their group like so:
cd (change directory) until you get to the directory you want to work with.
> cd public_html
view the directories and files in "public_html", including the owner and
group the directories and files belong to:
> ls -l
change the group to "nobody"
> chgrp nobody images
make sure you get the directories and/or files within the "images" directory
as well (ownership and groups don't get inherited automatically). it's as
simple (if you only have files and/or empty directories within your "images"
directory as this changing directory to the "images" directory:
> cd images
and then using the chgrp command to change them all at once, this time using
a wildcard:
> chgrp nobody *.*
now you should be good to go. all future files and folders you create
within the "images" directory via coldfusion should be owned by "nobody" and
be a part of the "nobody" group allowing access to read, write, and delete
at will.
a word of caution though -- if you upload other files or create directories
within the "images" directory by another process (ftp, for example) that
runs under a different group, these new directories and/or files won't
belong to the "nobody" group and you'll have to repeat the process to make
them accessible to coldfusion.
